Am I the only one in this team who is not Ultraman?

Page 249

Ayako picked up her tea and took a sip to calm herself, but then Daigo in the show said something that made her spit out her tea.

"Deputy Director Leo, this is Daigo from the Victory Team, requesting backup." After Daigo finished speaking, the screen switched to the Victory Team's command room, where a face familiar to the family appeared on the television.

"Pfft!" Aya spat out a mouthful of tea and coughed uncontrollably. Seele quickly reached out and slapped her on the back to help her catch her breath, but she used too much force and slapped Aya to the ground, causing her back to ache.

But there was no time to worry about that now. Ako wiped her mouth, got up, and ran towards the portal to her home. "Found it! Found it! Found a clue related to Leo!!"

Watching Yako run off into the distance, Gatan and Seele scratched their heads in confusion, not quite understanding why she was so excited. But now the two little ones understood where Leo had gone; he had gone to film a movie.

Of course, Ako knew that the person in the TV series couldn't be Leo. The real key point was that the people at Tsuburaya Productions knew about Leo's existence; at the very least, they had clues about his existence.

Chapter 427 Modius's Dilemma

When Ako told everyone about her discovery, even the two smartest members of the family, Empera and Galatron, were completely dumbfounded. They had searched for most of the day without finding anything, and now the clues had appeared in this way.

"My brain isn't working very well, so what does this have to do with the boss?" Dimaga didn't quite understand; all her intelligence was focused on combat, and she couldn't process this information immediately.

Actually, not only Dimaga, but also Magabasa and Hilarious didn't understand what was going on. Galatrom thought for a moment and tried to use simpler language to analyze it.

"Simply put, due to the enemy's abilities, there should be very few people in the world who remember Leo, unless their brilliance is so great that they are like Director Sawai and others, or Ultraman like Mizoroki."

"The people at Tsuburaya Productions obviously don't belong to this category, but the fact that Leo exists in their TV series... or rather, their scripts, proves one thing: they subconsciously believe that Leo needs to exist in TPC to be reasonable."

"It should even be said the other way around: given that the enemy might want to do everything possible to erase Leo's existence, it is unreasonable for their script to allow the existence of a character like Leo."

After hearing what Galatron said, the slightly smarter ones had already realized what was going on. Renlong, who was more knowledgeable, said, "Does this mean that even the mastermind behind the scenes can't make them erase Leo's mission from the script?"

Galatrom nodded, then added, "...It's even possible that they had no choice but to allow the character Leo to exist in the script."

Renlong realized the situation was tense, "I'll contact TPC right now..."

“No need.” Galatron shook her head. “I’m a shareholder in their company, we can just go directly there.”

Everyone fell silent for a moment. Although they all knew that the family was supported by Galatron, only Leo knew exactly how much money Galatron could make and what industries he was involved in.

After all, Galatrone usually only reports to Leo, and all of Galatrone's personal assets are registered as joint property with Leo under the Knicks' name. Well, without the whole family noticing, she has secretly used certain means to register herself and the Knicks as husband and wife.

"Before that, I have a question I really want to know, Sister Galatrom, how much money do we have right now?" Dimaga was genuinely curious about this.

Galatron thought for a moment, "Hmm... to be more specific, I could buy Ginza, if I used the interest from the pocket money I helped Leo save in the bank."

"..." Renlong opened his mouth as if to say something, but then stopped himself. After thinking about it, he decided against it. "Let's hurry over there now."

Everyone nodded in agreement. At least they now knew one thing: this family would no longer have to worry about food. Galatron was great, no further explanation needed.

In other words, Modius wasn't directly monitoring the shrine. If Modius knew that her plan had been exposed in this way, she would probably be furious. She never expected things to be exposed in this manner.

Damn it, you whole family of monsters, especially Gatanothor, who's a demon god, how come you like watching Ultraman tokusatsu shows? Is your whole family crazy?

However, there was no way around it. Even if Empera and Rukiel couldn't detect her, Renlong and Alaya would be quite troublesome for her. Gatanothor would also be very perceptive of such things, making it impossible for them to keep an eye on her.

Moreover, Modius is in a bad state right now. After returning from the Land of Light, she urgently checked her condition to make sure she wouldn't be captured by Delacion, and then realized... her condition was unstable again.

Modius is a split entity created from the combination of the power of Delacion and the ultimate darkness. However, the ultimate darkness was transformed from the eternal core of the earth after it was corrupted by negative energy.

So strictly speaking, Modius is mainly composed of three parts: Modius, the Eternal Core, and negative energy. This makes her different from the Dark Shadow Mage and Zagi, who are obsessed with gaining power or something else. Modius only pursues destruction.

People generally believe that the Eternal Core is the manifestation of the light of the Earth, just as other planets developed their own light and became star cores over a long period of time. However, Modiwus knows very well that it was the Eternal Core that became the Earth and then developed its own consciousness.

The eternal core is the light of the earth, so a part of Modius's consciousness is the light of the earth itself, and she has spent too long suppressing this part of the earth's will.

However, perhaps because she was affected by the light from the Plasma Spark Tower, the Earth Light, which she had managed to suppress, began to resurface, causing her to unconsciously reveal a lot of information at that time.

"Damn it, can't you just be quiet for a while?" Modius said through gritted teeth, clutching his head. "Death and destruction are the end of everything. They'll all disappear sooner or later anyway, so why not just let them come sooner?"

"Isn't that what you think? No matter what kind of civilization it is, destruction is the final outcome. It was your idea that brought about it, that brought about that destruction. Now what do you want to do? I'm just doing what you wanted to do for you!"

After Modiwus finished speaking, the light of the Earth was suppressed by her once again. After all, Modiwus was right. What attracted that red ball was the Eternal Core, which was the negative emotion of the Earth itself, its resentment.

It is precisely because Modius was shaped by these negative emotions that he exhibits his current madness and intent on destroying everything.

However, Modius quickly realized that something was wrong. The girls from the Leo family seemed to have discovered the problem. What was going on? The ESCG group hadn't even realized what was happening yet. Could it be that these monsters also enjoyed watching Ultraman beat up monsters?

"Tsk." Modius clicked her tongue. Although she hadn't originally planned to keep Leo trapped indefinitely, but only intended to buy time and create some opportunities, she was discovered earlier than expected, and now she had no choice but to start the plan ahead of schedule.

"Chaosjak, go! Stop them!"

When Modiwus first arrived on Planet Salome, she discovered that these guys were building mechanical Ultraman in shifts, creating a whole group of Ultra Brothers at a time. So she simply moved a whole group, since Jack wasn't really needed last time.

However, what Modius didn't expect was that just as she made her move, Volugan also took action.

Chapter 428 Daigo is Ultraman Tiga

Aside from Renlong and his group, the ESCG members were also searching for Leo's whereabouts. In fact, Daigo and the others still couldn't understand why the enemy would so accurately target Leo, the only non-Ultraman in their group. Shouldn't they have been targeting them?

However, the person who made the move this time was probably not Gilbaris. It's just unclear whether the Dark Shadow Mage or Zagi is the mastermind behind it all.

Looking at Daigo's helpless and dejected expression, although I already had the answer in my heart, I still held onto a sliver of hope, "So, did you find it?"

"No clues at all." Daigo shook his head and sighed. Today, the ESCG team split up to patrol and search for Leo's whereabouts. He drove for seven or eight hours without even seeing a shadow of him. However, he did encounter a few aliens. Of course, since he was being monitored by the Special Investigation Division, he didn't bother to check on them.

Daigo glanced at Fujimiya and Gamu. The two of them had been searching for Leo all day using the computer system but hadn't found him. Fujiwara Juri and Kurenai Kai were both slumped over in their respective spots. They had also just returned not long ago and hadn't found anything either.

Daigo sighed, turning to look at Captain Gentoo and Komon as they walked in. They had also split up to search, even managing to deal with a few monsters along the way. They couldn't find Leo Shin...

“You guys… alright, it seems there’s no need to ask anymore.” Daigo could tell from Gento and Komon’s bitter faces that they had also come up empty-handed. They had searched every place they could think of today, but there was still no clue about Leo.

"Is there no news from anyone?" Captain Xianren glanced around and then sighed helplessly. Without Leo, it felt like the entire ESCG team, and even TPC, was missing a pillar.

By the time everyone realized something was wrong, it was already too late. Everything related to Leo was disappearing rapidly. TPC's files couldn't find a single word about Leo, and searching for Leo only yielded results with the same name.

It's as if... Leo never existed in this world at all, but everyone knows that Leo is real. No matter who is behind it all, Leo must have hindered their plans. Now they can only pray that Leo is still alive.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become heavy again, Daigo wanted to ease the tension. He also had a question on his mind. "Speaking of which, when I came back just now, I felt that everyone was looking at me strangely. Does anyone know why?"

"Their eyes are strange?" Hearing Daigo say this, everyone perked up, and Daigo nodded quickly, "Yes, it's like they're seeing me for the first time, even Rena's eyes are full of unspoken words."

This is really strange. Daigo didn't completely disappear like Leo, so why are people acting like they just met him? What's going on here?

Everyone was puzzled for a moment, but it didn't seem like a very dangerous thing. Just as I was about to ask something, I suddenly received a call from SKIP, which seemed to be transferred.

"Hello, this is ESCG. Hello, little friend. Are you looking for... um, right, what do you mean you're looking for Ultraman Tiga?" My mind went blank for a moment. Fujimiya looked at me incredulously before switching the line to speakerphone.

The caller was none other than Kazuya Ida, Mari Ida's younger brother. However, the voice wasn't familiar to most people, and it even made them wonder how a young boy could transfer the call to ESCG.

It's important to know that since ESCG was established to deal with all sorts of new monsters and enemies, regular public hotlines are not directly transferred to ESCG.

However, Kazuya Ida was unaware of this matter. He was just excitedly watching TV, "Isn't Daigo, a member of your ESCG team, Ultraman Tiga?"

"Pfft!" Captain Gentoo and Kai sprayed their coffee at Komon. Fortunately, Komon reacted quickly and set up a barrier to block it, otherwise he would have been in a mess.

However, Komon himself was surprised and hesitated for a moment, so he was still splashed with some water. Everyone's expressions as they looked at Daigo silently revealed one question: When did your transformation get seen?

Daigo quickly shook his head. He usually transforms inside fighter jets, so how could outsiders possibly see him? But how could even a little kid say that he is Ultraman Tiga?

"Little friend, this...where did you see that Daigo is Ultraman Tiga? That's a rumor, right?" I didn't know how to answer. No, can someone tell them what's going on?

Hearing what Imu said, Kazuya Ida scratched his head in confusion, thinking that this was different from what was shown on TV. "But that's how it's portrayed on TV, and Daigo on TV looks exactly like the one from your ESCG team, and they're both from the GUTS team!"

"TV drama?"

"Yes, it's the first episode of Ultraman Tiga that aired today. Didn't Daigo transform into Ultraman Tiga during his fight with Golza?"

Hearing Kazuya Ida excitedly say this, everyone at ESCG fell silent. What did he mean by Daigo transforming into Ultraman Tiga in the first episode of Ultraman Tiga?

"Hey kid, TV dramas are just TV dramas, they're not the same as reality. Don't take them too seriously," Captain Stringman chimed in. "When making a TV drama, there will definitely be some references to reality. You'll understand once we take a closer look."

After saying that, Gento hung up the phone. Fujimiya quickly searched for the TV series "Ultraman Tiga" and started playing it on the big screen. After seeing "Daigo" and "Rena" piloting the Flying Swallow No. 1, they all fell silent again.

Hong Kai looked at Daigo and couldn't help but ask, "Daigo... when did you go off to film a movie behind everyone's back?"

"I didn't, I don't know where they found an actor who looks so much like me..." Before Da Gu could finish speaking, the scene changed, and everyone saw Leo's appearance on the big screen again, leaving everyone speechless.

After searching for Leo for ages without finding a single clue, here I am, seeing Leo himself in a TV series! Is that really him?

"Daigo Komon, the three of us will depart immediately for Tsuburaya Productions. Kai Kurenai and Juri Fujiwara will be in charge of patrolling to deal with any emergencies. Kazuyuki Fujimiya will stay in the command center to report on the situation. ESCG, deploy!"

At the command of the string-wielder, everyone was stunned for a moment before taking action. There was no way around it; they couldn't remember the last time their captain had called for action, and they were still a little unaccustomed to it.

Now, everyone not only knows why the entire TPC is looking at Daigo so strangely—there are probably quite a few people looking at him—but they also know Leo's whereabouts.

Chapter 429 The Flood Washed Away the Dragon King's Temple

"As expected, TV dramas are just TV dramas." Watching Ultraman Tiga on TV struggling to defeat Golza and Melba, Kazuya Ida sighed. How could Tiga be so weak?

Although the most powerful being is universally acknowledged as Dark Lugiel transformed by Nix, it is undeniable that Ultraman is still the most famous, not to mention that Tiga is still recognized as the most handsome of all Ultraman.

Judging from his appearance, Tiga has a sunny and gentle aura, as well as a divine beauty, which makes him very popular. Even the people of Kirieloid have started to pay attention to their appearance.

Mari Ida pondered that the Kirieloids in the Americas had actually started to have faith. After all, they had reformed and eliminated many monsters and helped people solve problems, so it was normal for some of them to have faith.

What's even more surprising is that after gaining enough followers, the Kirieloids did not convert these followers into spiritual beings like themselves.

Even when some people expressed their desire to become Kirieloids, the Kirieloids themselves advised them against it, saying that some things require a physical body to be achieved.

"They say that doing this will reduce the number of believers, but to be honest, it's just that they can't bear to part with them. They've also been influenced by the light of humanity, but they won't admit it themselves."

Mari Ida, or more accurately, Alaya, put down her pen, looked at the pile of homework in front of her, and sighed. No, although she knew that the teaching quality and efficiency of the Asian branch were the highest in the world, to the point that the whole world was learning from it, couldn't the amount of homework be optimized?

"These are all things that Lord Alaya has accumulated because he neglected his daily studies. He needs to learn to take responsibility for his actions." Ida Iryu, floating above Hiruzen, made a blunt critique.

Since Alaya has gradually gained more freedom of movement, she has become somewhat unrestrained, causing Mari Ida's homework to pile up like a mountain. Although Alaya has lived for so many years and is the light of humanity, and her intelligence is based on the upper limit of human level, it is still too much to handle.

Just as Alaya was finishing her homework, Kazuya Ida peeked out from the doorway. Ida Ryu had already returned to his sword. "Sister! I'm hungry. What do you want to eat? I'll order takeout!"

"Fried chicken! French fries! Hamburger! Two Cokes, then..."

"How about another roast chicken? My sister always orders these things. If she gets fat, no one will want her when she grows up."

Kazuya Ida sighed helplessly. His older sister was clearly a good cook, but when she ordered takeout, she preferred fast food. Sometimes she seemed like a completely different person. He even considered secretly calling the Special Investigations Division to see if his sister had been possessed by an alien.

"Mind your own business! I'm not worried about not having anyone to marry me!" Alaya banged on the table several times. Kazuya Iida quickly ran away, but the more Alaya banged, the more heartbroken she felt. They had agreed to stay single together. Renlong was practically a mother, while Magabasa had someone to marry her even with that mouth on her head.

Comparing yourself to others is infuriating, especially since these two aren't even human. Alaya grew angrier the more she thought about it, while Kazuya Ida returned. "By the way, sis, I heard that regular phone calls can't reach ESCG. How did you know that entering specific numbers and symbols would get you through?"

"Don't worry about this. A friend of mine told me about it." Alaya waved her hand. She couldn't very well say that she actually knew the TPC's database password, could she? "By the way, did you make the call?"

"Yeah, I've compared them several times. Daigo from ESCG looks exactly the same as on TV, even his hairstyle is the same."

"What was their reaction?" Alaya glanced at the question casually and filled it in on a whim. Kazuya Ida thought for a moment, "Hmm, it seems like they'll go and find out for themselves."

"That's about it. Let's order takeout. Oh, and an extra serving of meatballs." Alaya remembered that Jing Tian Jing Long quite liked these, and she couldn't let him watch her eat them.

After Kazuya Ida left, Alaya leaned back in her chair. "Phew, they've given such a good hint, they should know where to investigate by now. But it's really surprising that they used such a method; I didn't even notice."

"If Galaxy Spark hadn't taken action on its own, it would probably have taken several days. Pushing things forward a little shouldn't have attracted their attention. But how to break this deadlock depends on whether the girls from the Leo family can come up with a solution."

Alaya only discovered some clues through Keshier's actions. In fact, she had not noticed anything unusual before that, and she never expected Leo to have such a perverse sense of humor.

Before producing a new Ultraman series, Tsuburaya Productions must have consulted with Leo. It's even rumored that the original male lead was Shinjo, a hot-blooded protagonist who would continue the Showa era style.

However, Leo suggested that Daigo be the male lead, saying that using Ultraman Tiga's image would be the most suitable for Daigo. He told them to use TPC's costume design and character image as they pleased, as long as they didn't make him look ugly. With the help of the makeup artist, the production team really made the actor look exactly like the original GUTS team.

Mari Ida and Alaya felt that Leo must have done it on purpose. The thought that in the future, everyone in the world would know that Daigo was Tiga, but would not know that Daigo was really Tiga made Leo smile so hard that it was harder to suppress his smile than the new Max Cannon.

Before she could think about it further, Mari Ida sensed an unsettling aura. "Chaos virus... wait, there's more?"

She rushed to the window, pulled back the curtains, and looked outside. All she saw was a crack suddenly appear in the sky, from which a ball of seven-colored light flew out and transformed into the shape of Ultraman Chaos Jack. At the same time, a fiery meteor flew down from the sky and crashed into the ground, causing a violent explosion.

Mari Ida's gaze was fixed on Chaos Jack, who seemed to be trying to stop Renlong and his group. But the problem was... the monster that emerged from the exploding fire meteor was actually Zetton.

The moment Chaosjack saw Zetton, he immediately went into battle stance and charged at it. However, the Renlong group, who had just set off, were completely baffled. Strange, this wasn't their own Zetton. Where could it have come from?

The answer is that it was sent by Volugan, or more accurately, it was a resurrected and enhanced Volugan that was sent to Earth. It was the same one that Max killed in another universe.

Although everyone has been mocking the Zettonians for not knowing how to raise Zettons, this Zetton's qualities are truly outstanding. Despite sacrificing its light absorption ability for the sake of a comprehensive barrier, its teleportation and strength have been greatly enhanced.

To put it simply, this Zetton could send Max spinning three times in the air with a single slap, making it comparable to Miss Zetton a month ago. That's why Volugan revived it and even enhanced it significantly, restoring its light absorption ability.

However, Worugan was a little confused. He hadn't heard of any Ultraman Jack on Earth who didn't look like a good guy. Oh well, Lord Modius said that enemies would transform into Dark Ultraman. This guy rushed at him as soon as he saw him, so he must be an enemy!

However, what Volugan didn't know was that Modius's thoughts were not much different from his: such a powerful cosmic dinosaur could not have been raised by the Zettonians, and it was hard to say that the Baltanians were of this level. It must be from the Leo family. Just beat it up!

And so Chaosjack and Dark Zetton began to fight, but the three Zetton girls from the Leo family didn't lift a finger.
